Can I remain active with glaucoma?

Author: Dr. Joel Solano

Maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle is important to your overall wellbeing and helps with the health of your optic nerves. People with glaucoma should remain active and exercise regularly but extreme sports such as bungee jumping and scuba diving should likely be avoided. Body inversion should also be avoided as this is known to elevate a person’s eye pressure. There is a robust effect of exercise on eye pressure for people that are sedentary.
